정답: B. 노래해요

How to solve: The sentence says 'Miss Kitty is _______ on stage. People are clapping.' Clapping is a response to a performance like singing. Therefore, '노래해요' (sings) is the most appropriate verb for what someone would do on a stage to receive applause.

B — '노래해요' means 'sings'. This is a common performance on a stage that earns applause.

C — '운동해요' means 'exercises'. While some performances can be physical, 'singing' is a more direct fit for a general performer who gets applause.

정답: C. 화려한

How to solve: The sentence is 'Miss Kitty wore a very _______ dress.' The question asks for an adjective to describe a dress suitable for a performer like Miss Kitty Des Moines. '화려한' (glamorous/splendid) is the best choice to describe a performer's costume.
